rule check: I was under the assumption that Helo can't contribute to this skill check because he is not there. My card count is irrelevant. Correct?
Also...do we have a "rule check colour" like they do in Werewolf? They use red...so as to draw the MODs eye and not break the flow of the role play.

Rules: Normally, Helo can add to skill checks even if he is not on the board. But since you don't have cards it doesn't matter.

Memo to the High Honorable Madam President Roslyn: While you're sitting in your cushy Colonial One ship making bull crap speeches my viper pilots are risking their necks to save your neck. So I suggest you executive order Starbuck so she can protect the damn Civilian fleet. I'd do it myself but I busing hoping that I'll be able to launch a scouting mission so we don't jump blindly into a fracking Cylon trap.
Sincerely,
Commander Tigh

Turn 3

Head still spinning, President Roslin was now being assaulted from all sides by what seemed a hundred clamoring voices.

"We're waiting on jump coordinates from Galactica! Madame President, what are our contingency plans?"

"Madame President, already we're seeing depletion of necessities from several civilian ships in the fleet, and there is no time to try to help those in need!"

"How will the military and civilian leadership co-exist? Are you worried about Martial Law being declared in this time of crisis?"


Roslin just needed time. Time to think. But time she didn't have. She knew the population would be looking to her for guidance and leadership.

Kara Thrace was sitting in the hangar, fuming, chomping at the bit to get into the action.

Tigh certainly knew how to hold a grudge. Here they were, surrounded by Cylon enemies, and still she sat, grounded. Okay, so maybe she shouldn't have punched him. But that drunken son of a bitch knew just how to push her buttons.

She'd served her brig time; yet even still she wasn't allowed to fly. Ludicrous.


Suddenly, she noticed Racetrack sprinting across the bay, nearly out of breath.


"Starbuck!" she said. "Executive order just came through! In this crisis situation, there has been a Presidential pardon of flight suspensions! We need to get suited up and out there, pronto!"


Roslin. Starbuck should have known. There was already talk about how the Leader of the Colonies was now a mere schoolteacher. Yes, President Roslin would be looking for any opportunities to assert herself, that's for sure. Starbuck realized...she liked her already.


Tigh was probably FURIOUS. Kara smiled to herself as she got her gear together. She tried to imagine Tigh's face as he received the order that allowed Kara Thrace to fly again.


By the time she got in her ship, she was positively beaming.

Starbuck
" Racetrack, Hot Dog you're with me! Stick to my lead and you may learn a thing or two about flying, nuggets."

Tigh:
" Galactica Actual to Starbuck, proceed to Sector Alpha and intercept unknown Raider."

Starbuck:
" Negative, there are raiders going after civilians ships, shouldn't that be our priority, sir?"

Tigh:
"Dammit Starbuck I gave you a direct order!"

Starbuck:
"..."

Tigh:
Galatica Actual to Starbuck, do you copy?

Starbuck:
"..orry...jam....ignal....ector...to..Brav....uck, out" Radio goes dead.

Mr Gaeta:
Sir, Starbuck and two vipers are heading to Sector Bravo

Tigh:
FRAKK!


Starbuck's 1st Action:
Launch viper, then moves to section Alpha

2nd Action: moves to Sector Bravo

Apollo was still gritting his teeth as the report came in about Greenbean. He knew it wasn't truly his fault, and that Greenbean could take care of himself.

Gunfire ripped across his wing, and he realized like a fool he'd left his mind drift.

He tried to spin his ship about, but just as suddenly the Raider in front of him exploded, and through the fire came...Starbuck?!

He couldn't believe it. He didn't know what had happened between her and Tigh, and probably didn't want to know.

"You're flying like a nugget, Apollo! Keep your head in the game!" Kara's voice came across the comm. Then, just as suddenly, she spun again and made a beeline for the large grouping of Cylon Raiders.

Lee smiled. The fight was definitely on now.

________________________________



Meanwhile, Laura Roslin's desk was a flurry of status reports, civilian fleet briefs, and pending Executive orders. Laura Roslin was determined to hit the ground running. She hadn't told anyone yet...except for Billy...about her cancer.

Tigh had been extremely angry about her Executive Order, but she'd sensed a relief in his voice too that she had freed him from allowing his pride get in the way. In a time like this, there was no reason not to have their best pilots out there.

Tigh was obviously a flawed man, but a good leader. He would also likely be her adversary on some things to come, that much she knew. Yes, it would be a good long while before Admiral Saul Tigh learned of her condition. She would make sure...

Suddenly, where she was standing she began to swoon, her vision growing faint. A few of the aides mulling about looked at her in alarm. "Madame President! Are you alright?"




CRISIS STEP!

#The top 2 cards of the Crisis Deck have been revealed to Laura Roslin, who must choose one to place on bottom of the deck.

#President Roslin examines the top two cards, places one on bottom, and places the other on top of the crisis deck.


__________________________

As Roslin caught her breath, she tried to make sense of the flash of images she'd just seen. A man...with a short blonde crew cut, sneering at her with terrible hatred. He was speaking, but in a whisper so low she could not hear.

And just like that, the vision passed.




Meanwhile, aboard the Galactica, unbeknownst to Laura Roslin, that very same man was winding his way through one of Galactica's corridors, whistling a tune softly to himself.

One of Galactica's security saw him, his behavior too odd to miss. There was something...off about him. The guard made a motion for one of the other guards stationed down the way to follow him.

The guard returns from around the corner, a completely befuddled look on his face.

"Did you lose him?"

"I rounded the corner and it was just like he had...disappeared."

"Alert the other posts. There was definitely something off about that guy."

"Well - that's a President who doesn't piss around, my type of woman. Although we could have discussed it some ... but she does have the most cards so well taken on the chin."
